"Does the NYPD have any jurisdiction over non-US citizens?"
Do the police in Montreal have jurisdiction over non Canadians?

The Distagon is available......
Just buy a CY adaptor and a EOS camera. Your AIS lenses will work too with the proper adaptor :)

28 2.0 AIS
28 2.8 AIS - not the AI version (although very good), look for serial number 635001 or higher, minimum focusing .2 m
Thanks again to Roland Vink's site at http://www.photosynthesis.co.nz/nikon/serialno.html#28
This site has assisted me in many e-bay purchases

I have owned all of these lenses, all are decent, but not enough speed for indoor activities. I would suggest Tamron 28-75 2.8. and c)

I just finished putting a katz screen in my D200.
It works great. You use the shim already in the D200.
AF is dead on, no noticable effect on my metering.
Manual focusing is even easier with this baby, hint- set your AF to wide and the center area for split screen opens up nicely.
Best $100.00 spent for my D200.
Very slight loss of brightness, but I use fast glass anyways. My 28-200 G 5.6 zoom does not experience blackout phenomenom, if I stop down to 11 and less I will notice the blackout effect when I DOF preview. But this screen will work with your slow glass, unlike another version I use in my 20d, I get black out in focusing aid at 5.6.
Superb, easy to install except the D200 clip is a little more finicky clicking back then the one on my 20D.

Keep your 85 1.4 ...
If you want convenience, buy a Nikkor 28-200 ??-5.6 ED and a used MF Tokina 17mm 3.5. In my opinion the 28-200 is as good as your 18-70 and about the same price, so the cost of moving in that direction is minimal. The Tokina can be had for about 100 bucks and take care of the wide end you lose by selling the 18-70. You really don't need AF on 17mm stopped down.
This is based on bias however. I am not a big fan of VR, although I have owned 3, as when I use AF it is usually on moving subjects and I prefer faster lens. I shoot MF primes 90% of the time, the 28-200 for snapshots at the playground, and AF 80-200 2.8 for sports.

More specifically, no teleconverter, including TC-16A, will provide metering for non chip (AI/AIS) lenses on D70.
That is why I used a 20D with a F to EOS mount, the Canon would meter. The D200 and D2x do, but not D70 nor D50.

With a 1500.00 budget I would also suggest a DSLR and a fast prime lens. I would suggest a D70 and the AF 50 1.4D. He can learn to zoom with his feet and learn DOF to his heart's content without the cost of developing film. He will also have AF for his sports shots.
Or you could buy the D50 with the 18-200 wonder zoom, and he can just keep it at f8 and not worry about DOF or holding the lens steady or moving around to frame his subject.
The former appears better for your son and his obvious talent.
With the balance of your budget I would suggest buying a FM2n body so he can stick the 50 1.4 on it and run some expensive film through it to be artsy and appreciate the point and shoot nature of modern cameras.

100% crop, 105 1.8 wide open, iso 800, church lighting.
Pretty sharp wide open, oh my gosh, is that banding?
No, its his bifocals, shot on 20D whose problem was purportedly back focus, not banding. Or was it the D70 that had the backfocus issue, or was it vignetting, or was that the 5d that had vignetting...
This glass works even better on D200 with bigger viewfinder and focus confirmation! No autofocus problems either in low light :)<div>

"Why can't they implement it with some proper technology instead of something that sometimes work, sometimes doesn't?"
Let us know how the 5D's built in commander mode works compared to Nikon's creative light system. My Canon's flash system bites compared to Nikon's.
-
What are you doing? By buying these MF lenses you are harming Nikon's future, sell these antiques and get the 18-200 plastizoom.
Seriously, nice shopping spree. I would also recommend the 55 micro nikkor as it is extremely flexible, excellent quality from macro to infinity and super sharp wide open. And cheap too.

Have fun with this lens, it is the reason why I never went over to the dark side completely.

"I'm not entirely convinced that Nikon will eventually release a full frame body. I don't see any compelling reason why they should. And if your logic were to hold true, why would they have released ANY DX lenses? If Nikon was committed to transitioning to FF sensors they would have never manufactured a single DX lens in the first place."
If Nikon was committed to DSLRs why did they release the F6. Certainly their development of a new film camera couldn't mean that they would give up on that format would they?
Go ahead and buy your crappy DX lenses, Nikon will laugh all the way to the bank when they release a FF DSLR and the mountains of DX lenses are obsolete.
Don't think it will happen, take a look over at the Canon forum and see what the 5D is doing to their APS lenses. Since Nikon is heading down the Canon path, within a couple of years investments in these lenses will be useful for consumer grade DSLRS. Pro and prosumer DSLRs will require those "old school" lenses.

Probably not a FM4.

"I believe that this will cure even the most virulent case of NAS - However, while it will cure a Nikon owner, it will also cross infect Leica owners: "
I wouldn't buy this camera, it is obviously defective- 1) The LCD screen seems to have fallen off, 2) The lens doesn't look like it zooms, 3) it is not a "G" lens and there is an apperture ring which I hear is hard to use, 4) there is no CF card included.

I love my FM2n with my 28 2.0 AI. I gotta buy some batteries though, using my handheld lightmeter makes me look "old school".

The question is not whether Nikon should make consumer level products, clearly they should. The question is whether they should continue to make the products, which built the brand up, for the hard core loyalists who didn't flock to EOS. Build the D50s and $250 wonder zooms, just don't abandon the traditionalists which built up your brand. If they become just like EOS, then why bother with having Nikon.
-
Perhaps just a generalization, and dated testing, but the best "zoom" rating for Nikkors was 4.2 for the 80-200 2.8 while most of the AIS lenses were above that. I assume the 18-200 zoom will not outperform the 80-200 2.8, but maybe it does.
